CLARIFICATIONS
-The daily "imperatives" on the bottom left of the hud are a daily routine and are WIP. The hud will soon update as the daily tasks are accomplished.
-Mother NPCs are meant to serve as a kind of tutorial on day 1, as the first thing she will likely do is take you to drink water when you first wake up. The rest of the first day is being ironed out with new programing.
KNOWN ISSUES
-Mother NPCs may freeze after first trip to the watering hole; their decision-making algorithm is being replaced. We'll be ironing out the new day 1 routine of mothers for the rest of the month.
-Mother npc may cut through water or choose further water, or may freeze (Fixing this soon). For the time being, simply abandon the mother if you need to.
-Pouncing some small animals may get you stuck sideways, repounce something else to correct orientation
-There are some floating rocks in Central Grasslands because some terrain info got overwritten. I'll be restoring it soon with a map update.
-Spawn error>> Fatal error, this seems to have come back (Fixing this soon)
-The Central Grasslands region recently got its terrain data overwritten and has been flattened, so if you see any floating boulders, those are hills that got erased; they will be restored asap.
-If you encounter any significant lag, go into your graphical settings, and turn down your shadows to low, then if needed turn down your view distance.
-Built-in Photomode pics being saved to unknown location(Use Steam or Nvidia Ansel for now)
